The Statistics of Inheritance How can statistics help predict the traits of offspring?

Why? The randomization of alleles from the parents’ genetic material is essential to the survival and evolution of a species. If the combinations of alleles that make up the genetic material in a zygote are truly random, the laws of statistics can be used to predict what traits the offspring will have. This activity starts with a review of Punnett squares, which is one way to make predictions about simple allele combinations. Statistics will then be used to make mathematical predictions about the genotypes of offspring.

Extension Questions 25. Consider the beetle pair in cross D of Model 1. What is the probability for that beetle pair to have three black exoskeleton offspring in a row?

Read This! At times scientists want to look at the inheritance statistics of two or more genes that are related. For example, the beetles in Model 1 might have long legs (from the dominant allele, N) or short legs (from the recessive allele, n). The genotypes would then be written BbNn or BBnn. In order to determine what genotypes the offspring might have, each combination of alleles is considered. For example, if a male beetle was BbNn, he could pass on the allele sets BN, Bn, bN or bn. Both Punnett squares and statistics can still be used to determine the possible combinations in the offspring. 26. Consider a cross of beetles with exoskeleton alleles B and b and leg size alleles N and n. The male parent is heterozygous in both traits. The female parent is homozygous recessive in both traits. a. Write the four letter genotype for each parent. b. Use the Punnet square below to find the possible allele combinations for an offspring. Possible allele combinations from the male

c. What is the probability that the offspring will have a genotype of Bbnn? d. Show how statistics could be used to calculate the probability you found in part c without using a Punnett square.
